Suspense | Romance Suspense

Detective Bobbie Gentry knows all about monsters and the pain of losing loved ones and almost her own life, but will not allow THE COLDEST FEAR to stop her. Serial killer Randolph Weller has escaped and her search for him brings her to Savannah, Georgia. What does a 32-year-old mystery of 5 missing children have to do with an escapee? Bobbie Gentry is about to find out and so are we. The bodies of four of the children are found in a pet cemetery when some of the large angel gravestones were broken to reveal their remains -- but where is the fifth child? THE COLDEST FEAR begins exactly where Deeper Grave left off in author Debra Webb's Shades of Death series. I have loved reading Ms. Webb's books from her Colby series but in this one, she will take you down a winding road and lead you to places you least expect. THE COLDEST FEAR deals with much emotion ... from those solving the mystery of the missing children, those who lived it and those who might have prevented the tragedy as it unfolded -- but didn't for one reason or another. The characters in this story have a realistic feel to them, and of course some of them you are really grateful that they are only on paper. Bobbie's resiliency is amazing, having lost so much in life but her strength in refusing to give in just makes you root for her more. Love interest Nick Slade is also a very broken man ... his father is the serial killer they are searching for and he wants to kill Bobbie to make Nick into the killer he was meant to be -- someone just like him. The most amazing twist of this book has to do with Nick -- but that will have to wait for you the reader to discover as it would be a very big spoiler. THE COLDEST FEAR is the book you want in your hands if you love a mystery with a number of unexpected twists, intriguing dialogue with clues that might lead you to the answers (or not) and the building a good relationship between two people who are so broken only having each other in their lives will heal them.

SUMMARY

A killer with nothing left to lose… Afraid or not, Detective Bobbie Gentry has a monster to confront. The pain of losing her family and nearly her life to a criminal's vile hunger is still fresh, but now the landscape is different. Now she's not alone. Now she has Nick Shade to trust. Nick treats the terror of his past with vengeance. He's dedicated his life to hunting serial killers, and he'd give up his last breath to save Bobbie. When a string of killings bloodies Savannah's elite society and causes cold cases to resurface, Bobbie is captured in a city more haunted than Nick's inescapable nightmares. And as the murderer strikes close, Nick and Bobbie will need to become even closer if they're going to survive.
